This is a Texas powdered skipper (Systasea pulverulenta). It's a skipper, not the most stunning butterfly, but it is my 590th identified insect species. Always nice to find a lifer Lepidoptera, and even though it's still hot out it's nice to see some signs of fall coming.

About time to get out and see your local in SE Australia.

Here's the introduced Romulea rosea blooming in their thousands like little pink stars among Kangaroo grass (Themeda triandra) which is regrowing after an autumn burn. The second pic is a small male Spiny Rice-flower (Pimelea spinescens, critically ) flowering like crazy in the same regrowth. Pics at Isabella Williams grassland, Deer Park (Melb).

A new study reveals that wooded grasslands flourished in Africa 10 million years ago. The study shows that these ecosystems were widespread and diverse and supported a variety of animals, including early hominins. The study challenges the idea that savannas were the dominant landscape in Africa during the Miocene epoch. phys.org/news/2023-04-wooded-g
